The story about the Rev. DIR. Joseph
Parker's connection with the Beecher
monument fund and the allegation that
he was paid for the eulogy which he
delivered at the Brooklyn Academy of
Music, and which was thought ut the
time to be a gratuitous testimonial OF
love and admiration was the principal
topic of conversation in New York Sat-
urday. Among the statements made by
persons protesting to know the true in
wardness of the whole matter was the
following: That DIR. Parker, instead OF
coming over expressly to deliver the
eulogy, had Il long time previously made
ND his mind to come to this country on
lecture tour; that an attempt was made
some days before the delivery of the
Grafton to distribute circulars in Ply
mouth church, stating that DR.. Parker
came to America expressly as MIR.
Beecher's eulogist, but that the circulars
were sent back, that there had been no
settlement of the eulogy meeting yet,
and that it is unlikely under all the new
phases of the affair that DR.. Parker will
preach i'm Plymouth church next sun
day. Several prominent members OF
Plymouth church were interviewed on
the matter to-day and they all express
ed the greatest indignation at the action
of DIR. Parker. Major Pond also came
in for fair share of criticism, as it was
stated that he had offered to defray the
expenses of the eulogy, and members
of the church now say that he got a
good advertisement out of the affair.

ATLANTA went "wet" Saturday, thus
after two years Of experience repudiating
the alleged prohibition ordinance by
majority several times greater than that
by which it was carried. The result is to he
taken as forcible reminder of the fail
ure of prohibition, inasmuch as the issue
made by the 'antis' was distinctly that
prohibition did not prohibit. At the
election two years ago there was ma
jority against the measure in the city
proper of two hundred, but the county
precincts overcome this and the city was
compelled to submit. There has only
been pretense of enforcing the law,
and liquor was free to be had at hotel
bar rooms and saloons under the name
of "nerve tonic" ''invigorator, etc.
The campaign closed Saturday was a
very bitterly contested one, especially
on the part of the prohibitionists, who
had worked with might and main for sew
eral months to secure the success of the
"dry" cause. Their defeat will of course
be deeply lamented by believers in pro-
hibItion the country over, but it is likely
to be good thing for Atlanta, as the last
legislature provided for putting a $4,000
license upon saloons in that city, and I'M
der that measure the authorities will be
much more successful in restricting and
regulating drinking places than when
their hands were tied by the prohibition
ordinance.

SPEAKING of the attitude of the Metho-
dist church on the question of prohibit
ton the Winona Republican says it was
never more clearly and concisely stated
than by Bishop Foss of this State, FORM
erly president of Wesleyan University.
He said recently that the Methodist
Church is universally in favor of consti-
tutional prohibition, but it is not COM
mitted to the third party in any way
and the prevailing sentiment of the
church as body is decidedly against
any endorsement of that party. The
bishop added that he had been preach
ing prohibition since he was 10 years
old and had "lived TO see the tide of
public sentiment, urged on by moral in
iluences, by Christian preaching, by ar
gument and reason, become great
river" "That is the COURSE" he adds,
that will finally win. The cause will be
hurt by political strife and passion"
The third party" people who held
convention at Minneapolis the other
day ought to lay this saying to heart.
If they had done so, and considered it
ntelligently and conscientiously, they
would not have f,slsifedcurrent facts as
they unblushingly did in the resolutions
adopted by them on that occasion.

THE Republican Club of the city of
New York recently instructed its ''com-
mite on associate organization" to open
a correspondence with the Republican
clubs of the country, in order to ascer-
tain if the general sentiment of these or
CARNATIONS would favor holding a nation
al convention, to be composed of the
delegates from these clubs. The primary
object of holding this convention is to
consider the propriety of organizing, in
the various States of the Union, large
number of Republican clubs, and to de-
termine the best manner of conducting
their work. Also, to devise some sys-
tenn that will conduce to the efficient CO.
operation of these clubs in State and ma
tional politics. This work, if properly
carried out, will lead to increased party
efficiency, to an intelligent comprehen-
sion among The masses of the living
questions before the country, and to
degree of organization hitherto unknown
in the history of any political party. The
responses to this suggestion have been
so numerous and general that it has been
determined to hold the proposed con-
vention at Chickering hall, New York
city, Dec. l5l7 proximo. Prominent
Republicans have been invited to adj
dress the convention on some important
political question, such as the tariff, la
Dor, reform in municipal government,
the negro vote in the South, etc. The
Republican clubs Of Minnesota are invi-
ted each to send five delegates. Any
information on the subject will be fur
nished by addressing Nj. M. Budlong,
subcommittee for Minnesota, 20 Nassau
street, New York.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The Proposition That Minneapolis
viii Lay Before the Committee.

The Proposition That Minneapolis
Will Lay Before the Committee.
Chicago, Nov. 25.-Col. c.. w. John
son, of Minneapolis, chief clerk of the
United States senate, passed through
the city yesterday with his family, en-
route for Washington. Col. johnson is
secretary OF the Minneapolis committee
which is making such determined
effort to get the National Republican
convention to meet in that city next
year, and has been very active in work
ing up the 'boom." To a reporter for
the Inter Ocean he said: "The prospects
for Minneapolis are good; there is real
ly but one competitor-Chicago. Our
people feel that Chicago ought to help
us, at least as against all other cities out
side of Chicago. A guarantee fund OF
$40, 900 will be rendered the national
committee, and strong delegation,
headed by Gen. w. ID. Washburn, ex-
Gov. Tillsbury, Gov. McGill, the Hon.
M. H. Dunnell, the Hon. II. b. Strait,
and thirty or forty other leading citizens
of Minnesota, will leave Minneapolis
for Washington Dec. 4th and present
the case for Minneapolis. The Hon. Ill.
J. Campbell, ex-Gov. Gil. Pierce, the
Hon. John f. Bennell, of Dakota, will
also urge that the convention meet in
Minneapolis.
"In the event that the convention is
fixed for Minneapolis, it is expected
that excursion trains will be arranged
for to run from Minneapolis into Dako-
ia to give the delegates an opportunity
to see upon what basis Dakota demands
both division and admission, and every
thing possible will he done to impress
the country with the injustice of keep
ing Dakota out of the Union any long
err"
Mr.. Johnson declined TO state how
much strength Minneapolis had in the
committee which meets at Washington
to decide the question on Dec. s, but in
timated that the project had many
friends. :'The Democrats" he said,
"were assiduously cultivating the North
west through the postoffice and other
patronage, and it will be a wise thing to
look carefully after this rapidly devel-
oping field. There are ample hotel and
hall facilities at Minneapolis, far better
than existed in Chicago in 1860, when
Abraham Lincoln was nominated in a
wigwam specially constructed for the
convention at that tme."

MINNESOTA has experienced very dry
fall, and there has been considerable
complaint of wells having become dry,
but these hardships are as nothing COM
pared with the sufferings in the same di-
rection in other States. Large portions
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri
are suffering frightfully from drouth
which has lasted since last May. Food
is scarce and dear, cattle are dying, and
typhoid fever. scarlet fever and diph-
liberia have broken ont among the peo-
pie of the afflicted regions, owing to the
use of river and pond water, made nee
essary by the drying up of the wells and
springs. The situation is deplorable,
but within the past few days there has
been snow, and in some localities rain,
so that the people are encouraged to
hope that there will be at least sufficient
moisture produced before the steady
cold of winter sets in to enable the sea-
son to be passed without worse exper.
fences than has already been seen. Gin.
cinnati is enjoying coal famine as one
of the results of the drouth, there not
being sufficient water in the Ohio to float
coal barges down the river from Pitts
| burg.

The Sentiment in Washington Fav-

ia Provided she Stops Fighting
Over the Division Question.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-The proposed
"bob-taiP' convention to be held soon at
Aberdeen, OAK, III the interest OF adj
mission as whole, is causing gentle
smile in this city ngpeople interest
ed in the admission of Dakota. While
the right of every man to his views up
on the practlcability of division is
conceded, the whole thing is so palpable
scheme to secure for Ordway, Johnson
and few friends their expenses in
Washington this winter, that it can hard
ly be considered seriously. Taken as
whole, it is a question whether Dakota,
by her agitation of the division question,
both pro and con, is not proving her own
worst enemy. Three or four territories
are to have show at admission this
winter, and all hope to get In through an
omnibus bill, and members are becoming
interested and are discussing the matter
with some degree of interest. All OF
them favor Dakota's admission,
but ut least ten members in
the past week have said to the
correspondent that she could not receive
any consideration until she stopped
fighting over the division question. That
thing must be settled, and she must
come here united in asking what she
wants." said one member who is inter-
ested in getting in Montana and WASH
ington. eff Dakota keeps in row about
this thing, she will be left out ofthe ON
nibus bill, and will get another set
back" Delegates from other territories
are much worried over the division
matter, as they have intended to work
with Dakota in securing admission for
their own territory, and fear that
eff she come here with II quarrel on her
hands she will hamper and retard
the efforts of the Others" The majority
in favor of division, it is conceded, how
ever, should settle the matter, and fair
minded men are inclined to accept that
as the will of the people of the territory.
The crank who cannot accept any YER
dict, however overwhelming unless it
goes his way, is abroad in the land, and
will continue to injure Dakota interests
as much as he has in the past.

IT is noticed that the moment Senator
Jones, of Florida and Detroit, published
a newspaper card denying the report
that he was an object of charity, his
friends at once arranged to have him
examined as to his sanity. 1t will re-
main somewhat of a mystery whether it
was the act of writing the card or the
nature of what it contained which so
promptly decided the ex-Senator's
friends that he had became an object
for an insane asylum.

IT is gratifying to know from the actual
statistics of cattle shipments over the
Northern Pacific road this season that
the ravages of last winter were exagger-
ated. There has been sent to market
only about 10 per cent. less live stock
this year than last, whereas it was feared
that the number would be cut down 40
or 80 per cent. The Northern Pacific
has brought to the Eastern market from
the ranges of Montana and Western Da-
kota 72,45O beef cattle this year, as
against SO,950 last year IN which total was
included $3.50 head from Washington
Territory. This is a business extremely
satisfactory to all concerned in view of
the lugubrious outlook at the close of
winter. There nave also been shipped
to market 99,63S head of sheep as against
Il0,525 last year. Thus it will be seen
that the live stock business of Montana
has by no means been annihilated. Ev-
erything points TO its increase nextyear,
arrangements having been made to drive
very large numbers of Southern cattle
to the fattening fields of these Northern
territOrities.

THE following dispatch published in
daily papers Sunday is interesting and
very important, if true:

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 26.-Mr. Charles
A. Gillig, of the American Exchange,
London, registered at the Genesee to-
day. In conversation with a reporter
Mr.. Gillig stated that his present visit
to the United States was for the purpose
of perfecting the necessary arrange
ments for visit by Mr.. Gladstone in
April next.
"Mr. Gladstone" said Mr.. Gillig, "has
so far overcome his dread of ocean voy-
age that he will make short trip to this
country in the spring. One thing that
tended to bring about this change OF
mind i'm Mr. Gladstone was the fact that
his physicians have long advised him
that ain ocean voyage would be benefic-
ial to his health, and as he has always
cherished desire to visit this country,
now that his dread of the ocean has been
conquered. he embraces the opportun-
ity eagerly"
Mr.. Gillig says that Mr.. Gladstone's
visit will occupy about two months
time, and that he will visit the principal
cities.

ST. PAUL Globe: There is some red
tape business in the workings of the in
terstate comm commission. A
pamphlet er itled the Report and
Opinion of the Interstate Commerce
Commission IN tho case of the Manufact-
urers' and Jobbers' Union of Mankato
against the Minneapolis & st. Louis Rail-
way Company" which has just been
laid on the editorial table, is an illustra-
ton in point. The pamphlet contains a
lengthy statement of the case, but there
is no opinion in it. The case was heard
by the commission during its sitting in
st. Paul. The evidence and the papers
i'm the case were bundled up and carried
away by the commissioners. Before
they got around to an opinion the rail-
way company yielded to the demands
of the Mankato people, and that ended
the controversy. The commission had
nothing to pass on. Now the public
wonders why the commission thought il
necessary to spend so much good gov.
eminent money in printing the report
of a case that has no public interest be.
cause there was nothing decided. 1t is
the red tape foolishness in all govern
mental matters that piles up the ex.
pense.
